Hair Care

relaxed hair falling out

Pictures of relaxed hair falling out on the sides and at the top of the head from damage of heat, relaxers and and NO EDUCATION on how to take care of the hair.

Going natural IS NOT the answer to all of your questions about hair shedding and coming out. Did you know that majority of the African American women in the United States either have a perm or weave?

The problem is some of them know how to take care of their hair with a relaxer and weave and many of them don’t. A good hair dresser or stylist will know how to keep your hair healthy while it’s relaxed. Of course wearing your natural “Thirsty Roots” is the best option by default but don’t let people tell you that you have to in order to keep your hair from falling out.

Another common reason that this happens is stress and other medical reasons and NOT because it’s relaxed. Keep these things in mind as you dig deeper to find the solution to your problem if this is your situation. I am here to support you either way because I love your “Thirsty Roots” in whatever condition it’s in.

  • Hi,I am Danille. I am 15 years old, I had my hair relaxed when I was very young and it fell out. Then I started going to the salon and it grew back long and thick, But then the back of my hair fell out. My mom then put braids and I went natural for a year. I got my hair relaxed 6 months ago and it was healthy and long. Now it is shedding a lot and falling out in the same spot in the back of my hair. My hair is also very dry even if I oil it, and I don’t like my hair greasy. I don’t know what to do. I don’t really want braids again, because I want to learn how to take care of my hair. So,can you give me some advice please!!
